The Alerion Express 28 is an elegant hybrid that joins modern performance and traditional beauty. She sleeps 3. The v-berth forward sleeps two and the single berth to port. There is a single seat to starboard. The chart table is aft to starboard. There is a marine head with a privacy curtain forward. 38 qt. icebox cooler doubles as a companionway step with teak and holly lid. A fold-out table is in the main cabin. The interior stays cozy on cool days with Espar diesel heater!
She was repowered with a Volvo D-1 13hp engine in 2020, also included is a 2008 Tirad galvanized trailer that has had little use!
Custom Fairclough cover also included!
The new trend to elegant day sailers was pioneered by the notable beauty of this Carl Schumacher design, which sailors instinctively pause to admire. Quality produced by Pearson Composites, utilizing the SCRIMP system of resin infusion by vacuum, the AE 28 also delivers outstanding performance under sail, and is specifically designed to be easily single handed. We have a 15 minute DVD that amply demonstrates that advantage. With a fin keel and spade rudder providing exceptional maneuverability and stability, the Hoyt Jib Boom bringing off wind speed, and a 13-hp Volvo Diesel Sail Drive adding reliable power, this beautifully balanced boat sets the standard for the ideal day sailer.
